Story
Hello, there! I'm Mark, a charming 3-year-old German Shepherd mix with a striking black and white fur coat. My story began when I was just a pup of about four months old. Hungry and seeking kindness, I wandered into a guest house on the beautiful Jeju Island in Korea. Fortunately, compassionate souls took me in, providing me with food and care. Despite my lovable and well-behaved personality, I haven't yet found that forever family I long for, even at three years old. I simply adore people. Approaching them and sharing affection is something I absolutely cherish—I'll rub my body against them and gladly accept cuddles from both familiar faces and those I've just met. Car rides are a breeze for me, and I'm more than ready for a delightful walk with a leash. When it comes to other dogs, I approach them with a friendly greeting, though I prefer to build a rapport before engaging in play. Meeting a cat during a walk piques my curiosity, but I always follow my human's lead when it comes to the leash. My journey thus far has had its challenges, but I'm now eager to find my forever family, share affection, and live a joy-filled life. Are you the one I've been waiting for? Let's rub hearts and make beautiful memories together! 🐾❤️ For more videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JxqRJ_5tCSi_Q-uLafHZJko&si=IP7YOIoFLA3ScLu2

Story
Remi was found as a stray by Condado beach in sunny Puerto Rico Summer of 2021. Remi is male 4 year old part German Shepherd, Labrador mix. He is neutered and house broken already, and follows commands like sit, stay, come here. He has been living with a foster family which currently has a senior German Shepherd (12 years old) and a 18-month old baby boy. He does extremely well with little children and babies, super gentle and affectionate towards all humans. He has received the best care, mostly an indoor dog, but does spend time outdoors in the backyard. He is up to date on all his vaccines, gets regular vet visits and has received treatment for fleas ticks and heartworms. Hes a ball of love and has a lot of affection to give. It is not in his nature to bark unless someone is at the front door, besides that you wont hear a peep from him. Remi also loves to go on long walks, and loves to play fetch as well. Please help us find a forever home for this awesome dog!

Story
Luna Bear is a perfect girl! She is the ultimate loyal companion and will follow you to the ends of the earth! She loves other dogs, rarely gets on furniture, and still has to be convinced that its ok to get on her foster mom's bed. She is less of a cuddler and more of the kind of dog that will protect you and have your back. She likes to be on watch and make sure everything is going well in her home. While she loves to lounge around on the floor, she does like to be your shadow if you leave the room. Luna Bear is extremely motherly with the human toddler in her foster home and needs to know where she is at all times, it's just the cutest thing! She understands that in the house her family stays calm and collected but when she is out into the yard, she is ready for playtime. She will need her family to be extra watchful at first when she is in the yard, as she takes a little time to decide that she's home and she might try to escape! Once she knows she's home and loved, she will never leave your side. She is completely potty trained and has amazing house manners, so her foster mom never has to crate her when she leaves the home. Shes been great with the resident cats, but outdoor cats/other furry critters seem fun to chase! She has a curious nature about her which is fun to watch! She really hopes to find a family or someone that would be as dedicated to her as she will be to them.

Story
My name is Rayne and I came to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about me. My two puppies have already found their forever home so now its my turn! I am super sweet, a little shy, and love treats/snacks. I have started to show signs of being an escape artist while here at OCAS and therefore, would benefit from a loving family who can provide a safe and secure place that I can call my own! Ask the front for more information about me! My adoption fee has been fully sponsored. Adopt me and pay $0.00!!!

Story
Allow me to introduce you to the enchanting Pepper, a vivacious and sassy girl who adds a dash of spice to every moment. With an undeniable flair for mischief, Pepper delights in playfully antagonizing her brother, creating a dynamic and entertaining atmosphere. In stark contrast to her brother Simba, Pepper possesses a composed and sophisticated demeanor. Her communication style is characterized by a refreshing lack of whining or barking, showcasing her unique way of expressing herself. This distinctive trait makes her a delightful companion who navigates the world with a certain grace and charm. Pepper's social circle extends beyond sibling banter; she thrives in the company of our large dog and human daughter. Engaging in spirited play sessions, Pepper seamlessly integrates into the family dynamic, creating bonds that go beyond species boundaries. Her ability to connect with both furry and human companions highlights her versatility and adaptability. One of Pepper's most endearing qualities is her penchant for spreading joy through affectionate gestures. She is a certified expert in the art of giving kisses, showering those around her with warmth and love. This sweet and loving nature makes Pepper not just a pet but a cherished member of the family. As Pepper seeks her forever home, she brings with her a spirited personality, a touch of elegance, and an abundance of love to share. If you're ready to welcome a sassy yet sophisticated companion into your life, Pepper is the perfect addition to infuse your days with laughter, love, and a hint of playful mischief. ##1913559##
